Lyrics — Phantom Meridian
He trades his coat for silence and a key
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
She folds the map and drives without a name
A telescope aimed at an empty chair
Neon signs spell out a borrowed prayer
He trades his coat for silence and a key
Rust collects where fingerprints should be
The radio plays songs from someone else
